Okay everybody, calm down. Whether you hate clowns or not, there is nothing awkward here. This is a professional photo shot for a professional clown. I have a cousin who was a clown, uh, a professional one of course, for many years. He had a photo shoot too. It’s what you need to do, pass them out and generate business.

I’m laughing so hard that my gut hurts. I’m loving the comments on this. I’m the one that submitted the photo. The truly scary part of this photo is that this pic is of a family member of someone who resides in the same building I do. I’ve shown this to my co-workers and friends and the reaction is generally the same…FEAR. Plus a little creepiness, etc. The writing on the back of the photo gives the name of the lady…..and the doll. Totally awkward. If I were the mom or grandma who recieved this, I’d probably have thrown it in the garbage too.

Is there actually anyone out there (besides the clowns who dress as clowns) that LIKES clowns? Honestly, I’ve never known anyone who isn’t squicked out by them in varying degrees ranging from “bleh” to full blown terror.
